Alcoholism

Alcoholism

Alcoholism is
When you
Break my
Heart
Every night
When you swear
You’ve stopped
And then you
Take that first sip

Written Letter

Written Letter

And I'm
Writing you
Letters
With a simple
Pen
Paper
That
With enough
Courage that
I'll mail it
To you

Words
I can't describe
Or at least
Can't say
To your
Face

Maybe
I'm sorry
Or
Well
At least
I should have
Stayed
Longer
Until morning
At least
So you
Could
See me
Go

Because
I loved
You
So
Or
Well
You knew that
Already
Everyday

But even
Though
I didn't
Have enough
Courage to stay
Hopefully
This letter
Explains
It
Me and you

Sincerely Hers

Sincerely Hers

And I'm a
Homebody
With this
Girl
Yeah the one
With her hand
On my leg

Comfortably
Comfortable
With her
Next
To her

Some
But almost
Many nights
Out
But Likely
Nights in
Cooking
Dinner
Followed
Routinely
By a
Movie

Off to bed
Only
To great each
Other in dreams
And finally
Again in
The morning

A start
To another
Perfect day

Date Night

Date Night

Dinner's at nine
So I'm picking
You up
At seven
Taking you into
The city
Bright lights
And a pretty girl
On my arm

Reservations
A must
At this place
Good food
Classy drinks
Beautiful people
Not as beautiful
As you

Live band
But jazzy
Ambiance
Setting
The scene
Setting
The tone
At a darkened table

Dancing in
Between
Appetizers
And drinks
With kisses
On my cheek

A night
Not to
Forget

And it's
Getting late
Almost
One
The lights
Come on
Time to take
You home

Drop you off
On your
Front step
But not tonight
The night
Leaves
Adventures left
With you

The stars
Guiding
Our path
To somewhere
Anywhere
With you

Ending on top
Of the hill
Just in time
To watch
The sunrise
With your
Head
On my shoulder

Finally dropping
You off
On your
Front step
Morning dew
Still on
The grass

On your toes
To reach me
A soft kiss
From you
Sends me off
Off into
The morning

Last night
Date night
With you
One I'll
Never
Forget

Helicopter Ride To The Unknown

Helicopter Ride To The Unknown

My mind rode in a helicopter
And it took me
To the unknown

I thought of you
Along the way
Because I guess
This ride
Was about you
And the future that
Lays ahead

The ride took me
Through past and present
And into the future
Because I was worried
About you

But I woke up
The next morning
I couldn’t remember anything
I felt strange
Different from
The night before
I was older
I had grown up
But overnight?

Shocked I went
Into a room
I was unfamiliar with
And saw a beautiful girl
Lying next to
Where I looked
Like I slept
There was a ring on her finger
I was speechless

I peaked at her face
It looked familiar
But older
Like mine
Then I remembered

Who it looked like
It was you
It was you all along

Recycled Love

Recycled Love

Give what you want
Take what you need
A little more please

Have it
Lose it
Eat it
And choose it

Love
Without
Love

Use
To reduce
Feelings
And
Recycle
For next week

Conserve feelings
True love
Doesn’t feel
Anything
No need to

Cold shoulders
Otherwise
Until
Next week

Then
Simply
Repeat

Lie In Lies

Lie In Lies

And tonight
I want to
Hold you
Or at least
Something
And pretend
It's you

But tonight
I wish
I wasn't
I wish
You weren't
Here
Next to
Me

So don't
Leave me
Because like
Thieves
We lie
And lie
Awake
In love
Or in broken
Hearts

Ironically
However
We decide to
Lie
We lie
Together
And at
The same time
Alone

So in the
Morning
When I
If I
Wake up

Hopefully
What I
Really want
Not need
Will to be
Or not be
Laying
Next to
Me
